[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1142776, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome Charles :) Sorry, I don't understand. Are you saying that you were able to scan with some tuners but not others? ...or are you saying you expected more channels to be found? ...or something else? Our wiki covers this. [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_(EPG)[/URL] The methods that are applicable for you are: [LIST=1] [*][URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_(EPG)/XMLTV_mc2xml']XMLTV + mc2xml.[/URL] [*][URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/4_TV_Guide_Setup_(EPG)/WebEPG']IMDB, WebEPG.[/URL] [*][URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/television/schedulesdirect-guide-importer']SchedulesDirect plugin.[/URL] [/LIST] Recommendations are from highest (XMLTV + mc2xml) to lowest (SD plugin). The first option is free if you use the Microsoft legacy data, or [URL='http://www.schedulesdirect.org/']$25 per year [/URL](with free trial) if you use ScheduleDirect data. It's a little time consuming to setup (maybe an hour, depending on how many channels you have), but I highly recommend it because it's the most flexible option. The second option is also free, and also a bit time consuming to setup. The only reason I don't highly recommend it is because the setup is a bit too technical for some people. Ultimately it works, so it's an option. The 3rd costs [URL='http://www.schedulesdirect.org/']$25 per year [/URL]for the SchedulesDirect subscription (same as first option) data. I don't recommend it because it is confusing and hard to get the guide data to match up with the channels properly. My advice is not to use this unless you really have to. If you like the SchedulesDirect data quality then you can pull that in via the first option (XMLTV + mc2xml). Hope that helps. Feel free to ask questions. Around here it's far better to ask than waste time banging your head against a problem for hours. :) Regards, mm [/QUOTE]
